David Miller IPL profile: 3,077 runs in 133 innings, 138 sixes, 220 fours, strike-rate 138, one blistering 101*. After twelve seasons with Punjab Kings where he hammered 1,800+ of those runs, Miller exploded for Gujarat Titans between 2022-24, adding 1,100+ runs including that unforgettable maiden century. Now sporting Lucknow Super Giants colours in IPL 2025, the South African finisher owns 13 half-centuries and the rare ability to clear 90-metre boundaries at will—138 maximums and counting. A specialist batter who has never bowled a single ball in the tournament, Miller’s story is pure power-hitting artistry: 14 seasons, five franchises, one constant—game-changing sixes that turn scoreboards and matches upside down.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
